Toilet Paper Roll Faces: The Creepiest Use Of A Toilet Paper Roll Ever

Everyone knows that when the toilet paper is out, danger is approaching. Well, let’s just say that we all know we would rather have a spare toilet paper roll at home than realize it’s out when it’s too late. I remember when I was in preschool, and we were asked to bring empty toilet paper rolls to school. At first I was, as most of the kids were, clueless as to what was going to happen. But then it quickly dawned on us that we were going to create all kinds of cool stuff with these cardboard things. We made ornaments for the Christmas tree, maracas, yeah you name it, we could do pretty much anything with them. As time progressed, the use of a toilet paper roll somewhat fell into the shadows of our daily chores. We no longer saw the potential in them, and that’s way sad.

A guy that certainly doesn’t see the limits, yet sees the possibilities with an empty toilet paper roll is designer Junior Fritz Jacquiet. He calls himself a paper sculptorand boy are his creations awesome. Most of us would just put a couple of eyes, a nose and a mouth on the roll by using a pen. At max we’d add some yarn hair to it as well. But Fritz has a style all his own that will not only thrill you, but creep you out as well.

Fritz uses them as they are, adding a little color and then folding them to make fantastic faces. Each one is as unique as the next. I am just amazed by the creativity he shows in all his toilet paper roll faces. It’s astonishing to think that these faces where all hidden in a plain, boring and gray toilet paper roll awaiting discovery. This is art when at its best.

I’m as green at this as anyone, but looks to me that water is the key! What struck me was how similar the faces compare to the shrunken head ( dried apples ) craze of some years ago! Here tho’ , water is added, with the apples, they were carved, sometimes during the drying process, wher water was removed from theapples. The faces were funny,sad,happy. Just like us old farts! I’d say; soak a roll, give it a squeeze her & there, maybe use masking tape or rubber bands to hold it whileit dries & find out! Nuthin’ to lose except sme wrinkly ol’ cardboard! Har!! ( Good Luck too! Am gonna try it myself! )

The results are amazing. I work in an all male juvenile facility and we are always looking for new activities for the young men to do. I think they would love this. Any futher instructions that you would be willing to share would be awesome.

Looks like we are going to have to jump in there and experiment! My first thought is that they have to be wet! Gonna give it a go!!!! Will let you know if I am successful! Come on!!! Try it! Lol!it’s just a TP roll!
